Zlatan on verge of United return

Jose Mourinho has confirmed Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and Marcos Rojo are all in contention to feature against Newcastle on Saturday.

The news will be a likely boost to the Red Devils who are looking to bounce back from defeat at Chelsea.

Ibrahimovic hasn't played since April because of ruptured cruciate ligaments but Mourinho said: "He has made a full recovery but we can't expect him to play full 90 minutes or consecutive matches. Fitness and sharpness is everything."

"Zlatan, he's a very important player for us and of course, we welcome him back," says the boss. "He has incredible personality to fight such an injury." #MUFCpic.twitter.com/XZOuau166n
